dbatesman Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 When I went to the game here last year it was pretty terrible. If we'd extended Holmes before that we'd have lost for sure because he was the only one who was even trying at that point. Cotchery (the gimp play notwithstanding) and Edwards had just plain given up and it was Haynesworth-rolling-around-on-the-ground obvious. Now Holmes and Plax are dogging it. I don't know how we're supposed to get receivers to lay out for this guy when they know full well that if it takes longer than a second and a half for the ball to come out it's going the other way anyway. I remember that thread and have no doubt it was/is true. Let me rephrase. The WRs haven't played up to snuff because of some combination of the following: a. they're dogs who won't play hard for Sanchez; b. they're dogs who won't play hard for Schottenheimer; c. they're dogs who wouldn't play hard for anybody; d. Sanchez's incompetence; e. Schottenheimer's incompetence. My point is that it's sort of immaterial, because regardless of where that wheel lands, the offense is pretty much boned for the foreseeable future.

Maxman Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Victor Cruz: 55 catches, 957 yards, 7 TDs in 2 starts. Santonio Holmes: 37 catches, 494 yards, 5 TDs in 11 starts.

Smashmouth Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Costas ripped Holmes and showed some tape of him when he made that catch in the SB. When they were rushing up the field on the previous play Santonio was celebrating his catch and he almost cost his team the SB, he is a dumb mother****er. He cries every game that he does not get calls yet he drops the ball in front of refs while they are asking him for it so they can spot the ball for the next play. In some instances you can see the refs get frustrated with him as he taunts them by fropping the ball right in front of their face. The guy is a freakin moron and he is a selfish bitch on top of that. By him acting this way he hurts the team because I guarantee hes not getting calls . If hes this DUMB out in the open I wonder how dumb he is learning the offense. Does not surprise me one bit when he runs an out and Sanchez throws an in. Its dumb ****s like Holmes who have all the talent in the world and have no earthly idea how to use it other than to tease us with a great play now and then. Santonio does not suck because of his talent level he sucks because he has no brains. People wonder why this a$$hole was traded for a 5th round pick and its because the steelers probably got sick of his stupidity and playoff caliber teams worry about stupid plays in the playoffs because the season can end on stupidity we saw some of that stupidity from Holmes and we will continue too. Smart move by the Steelers IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirlancemehlot Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Holmes got paid. He's mailing it in because that's the kind of person he is. Plax tries hard in the red zone, but he's creaky and isn't going to take big shots between the 20's. He still needs one last payday. Cotchery and Braylon had more heart and they gave the extra effort which saved more than a few drives. They're gone. Kerley is mid-round talent playing at mid-level production. A guy like Cruz needs this game and needs to make an impact so he busts his a$$. We don't have that attitude in our recieveing staff. Anywhere.

Fortunately, both have played with more teams than the Jets. Edwards going deep is old school...straight line, I'm tall, hit me. That's his whole repertoire of routes for going deep. Holmes can curl, he's way better at making more than one move, he works the intermediate game better...**** that noise. Oh and of course the QB has nothing to do with it...Yuch....it "can't be" simply because he's better in year 3 than year 1? What? Unless you're 6'3 or really obviously open Sanchez isn't all that great with the deep ball...luckily they have the PI thing too, which the Jets have taken advantage of.

Unless you're 6'3 or really obviously open Sanchez isn't all that great with the deep ball...luckily they have the PI thing too, which the Jets have taken advantage of. You're right, they have played with other teams, but during only one season (Holmes' second) was there any shred of evidence that suggests he might be a better deep threat. I don't dispute that there are plenty of things he does better than Edwards, I just don't see where he's clearly the better deep threat. As far as the excuses about it being Sanchez's fault, I'm not sure how Edwards getting "really obviously open" more often than Holmes doesn't support him being the better deep threat. So really your excuse for why, when playing with the same QB, Holmes has been significantly out-performed in the deep game by Edwards is height? But of course, Edwards successfully using his height advantage doesn't make him a better deep threat. Ok then. I'll give you credit, at least you're consistent with your football analysis, you never let what happens on the field have any influence whatsoever on your opinions.

I'll give you credit, at least you're consistent with your football analysis, you never let what happens on the field have any influence whatsoever on your opinions. If Edwards was a consistently better deep threat than Holmes then he'd be here. He's not. The only thing that makes him a deep threat is that he's tall and he's fast. That's why the ONLY route he ran as a Jet to go deep was in a straight line. So yes, what made him a better deep threat here was his height/speed combo combined with a "pick your spot" strategy. Holmes doesn't need all that crap, he needs a QB who can get him the ball when he's down there. He's got more ways of beating you deep, and long term that will pay off waaaaaaaay more than Edwards' schtick. That's why he's a better deep threat, plain and simple. So sure, I'm not really running on stats here so maybe you have something there, but practically speaking Edwards is a one trick pony who isn't even GREAT at that trick.

The point is that once again some think certain Jets need to take absolutely no responsibility for their own failures and there's always an excuse why it's someone elses fault. It's apparently all Sanchez's fault that Holmes has provided absolutely nothing as a deep threat even though Braylon never seemed to have that problem while here, despite allegedly being a far inferior deep receiver.

One thing to keep in mind is the Jets totally abandoned the deep ball early in the season because deep routes just cant develop when you cant protect the QB. I expect we will see more deep balls from here on in since we seem to be getting backs more involved in the passing game which will make defenses play more honest.

Either way I still do not see Holmes as a deep threat nor a consistent WR. We still haven't though, and that's what's perplexing. Last week, for example, Sanchez threw over 20 yards only twice (both incomplete). Granted, he only played 3 quarters and some of that time we were just better off running the football and getting out of Dodge with our enormous lead. But, you didn't see much of the deep game the week before either. Honestly at this point I don't know how anyone can assert that Holmes is a better deep threat than Edwards. How many catches has he made this year that are 30 yards or more downfield? Maybe 1? When Edwards had a whole bunch of them last year. They took a shot to him almost every game, and many of them worked. It wasn't just about his height, either... he was breaking coverage far better than Holmes does.

SenorGato Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Not FAR inferior, but inferior (and by that I mean not varied) enough to matter. Sorry, but Edwards was pretty clumsy (albeit improved) when asked to do more than run in a straight line here, and he's not a great enough deep threat to give a big contract to. He's BASICALLY Donte Stallworth to an offense...Fast enough and not terrible enough to attract year to year suitors...not smart or versatile enough to get a commitment from anyone.
